My Native Land

Written by Alice Holovchenko, 6a

Ukraine is rich and multifarious; each region has its own originality. I live in Mykolayiv Region; it vividly differs from other regions of Ukraine. I think it really has a unique character, thanks to its picturesque nature and high economic potential.

 Mykolayiv Region is located in the steppe zone of the southern Ukraine, it borders on Odessa, Kirovograd, Dnipropetrovsk and Kherson regions and is washed by the Black Sea in the south.  Endless grain fields are able to feed more than a million people. The adornment of the area is the life-giving Southern Bug River, one of the most powerful Ukrainian rivers. The climate is favorable for health.

 Mykolayiv region is special and the most native for me. This is my small motherland.   Love to this land generates the feeling that Ukraine is the greatest and  a pride of it in my heart and soul.  I was born in Mykolayiv, my parents were born here, my family lives here. I love walking along the streets of my hometown, admiring its architecture and monitoring its development.

 

 The powerful half a million regional centre Mykolayiv is a naval city, which is going through its new birth. The biggest resource of the city is its population. Since old times Mykolayiv residents have been well-known for their hard work and resourcefulness, high professionalism and responsibility, creativity, hospitality, and optimism. Mykolayiv is a city where the experience and professional qualities of the old generation are united with the creative activity of the youth.

 Mykolayiv region is the southern region of Ukraine, which has rich nature and enormous opportunities for economic progress and prosperity. Its unique territory with the richest history is tightly connected with the formation of the European Civilization. This place is my precious Motherland!
